Resolution No.(166)(7/2011) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling of Sharia on Donating Part of the Liver"

Date: 26/8/1432 AH, corresponding to 28/7/2011 AD.

 

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

During its eleventh session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the ruling on donating part of the liver and decided that it is permissible provided that the conditions of Sharia in this regard are met. Rather, the Board is of the view that whoever does this out of kindness towards a patient, who is really in need for it, will be rewarded by Allah. Allah, The Almighty, Says (what means): "and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people." {Al-Mai`dah/32}.

The conditions of Sharia as far as this issue is concerned are as  follows:

1- The donor should be a responsible person.

2- Taking this part from the donor`s liver doesn`t inflict any harm on his life since the Sharia maxim in this regard reads: (Harm shouldn`t be eliminated  by inflicting reciprocal harm). Therefore, it is imperative to consult specialized expert doctors at each case.

3- It is donated out of charity, not in exchange for a material profit.

4- Transplanting this part of the liver is the only medical means to cure the patient.

5- The operation is most likely to be a success. And Allah Knows Best.
